Why are there no good single guys in this city? I’ve lived in Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver and many other cities, even places smaller than here, and was always able to find a great guy to go out with. What the fuck is wrong with Halifax? Every decent male catch around here has a girlfriend/wife/fiance. I’ve lived here for almost 8 months and I swear to fuck, every single man I’ve met was either a weirdo, a loser, or an asshole! Seriously, I’ve met tons of guys through friends, family, at work, even online, and all of the dateable ones are taken. The single ones are single for a reason–they have absolutely nothing going for them! I’ve never been to a place with such a horrid dating scene. It seems to be one-sided too. I’ve met plenty of great single WOMEN here. Unfortunately, I like penis, not pussy. But thankfully, I’m only here for another month and will be moving back to Toronto for a new job I’m starting, so I don’t have remain single or settle for any of these yahoos. I just feel so bad for the great single gals who are stuck here with such duds as prospective mates. —Picking Through Scraps in Halifax

Oh there’s plenty of us nice single guys around the city, it’s just that all the single women won’t even give us the time of day.
so you’re moving… it won’t be a problem for you anymore.
remind me again, why are you bothering to continue bitching about it???
ah yes… because you bitch incessantly about everything all the time.
you belong in Whoronto.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out…
If the sinlge guys out there didn’t want you, there’s a reason. I strongly suspect it’s because you’re a stuck up bitch, as proven by your bitch…
Meh… Looks like we got rid of anther stuck up import we didn’t want anyway. Good work guys, keep it up.
Agree… there are no good men around here… Good luck in Toronto!!
Perhaps you are so insecure that you do not feel *complete* without a BF! Geezuz, you have only been here eight months ……. you thought this city would stop just because you came to town? Fuck, didn’t happen – never will……… c’ya!
Eh, there are duds wherever you go, OB. It’s just those other cities you mentioned have a larger population base, so of course there would be more to choose from.
Why do you NEED someone, though? I’m stuck here at least until early next year, and honestly, I’m to the point where I’m not even bothering any more with men around here because I’m getting the fuck out in January, and I don’t want anything serious to hold me back. I even had something going on, but ended that shit because I don’t really have the desire to be with someone right now.
In any event, Halifax is a shithole. I’ve lived here pretty much my entire life, so I can say with a definitive certainty that there are some weird motherfuckers up in here. And after 30 years up in here, I’m bored as FUCK.
i know a lovely nerd, he likes to dress up and go out
…and I hear he’s pretty big in Japan, as well. NO, I ‘m not talking about ‘zilla.
Sigh – another fucking episode of ‘The Young and the Desperate’ already. Look, OP, get yourself a turbo-thrust 2989-speed vibrator, forget about the boys for now and do a little self-exploration – don’t forget the miner’s helmet.
There are lots of good men around just i find a lot of girls i know anyways standards are literally threw the roof. I’m not saying everyone is like that but i know people who have the mindset if u don’t have a sixpack and make under 100k a year i’m not even going to talk to you. Then they complain when they are single. I’m just glad i found the woman for me here easily (although she had just moved here to from winnipeg so i didn’t have to deal with the halifax scene).
Bahaha thanks for the shameless plug. 😛
i got your back front and sides…say hello to the big d. this checklist idea for relationships is foolishness
that’s cause they see these bitches like snooki and jwow who haven’t worked a true day in their life and figure it’s just easier that way…
vain, bitchy airheads.
get a fucking grip.
“i know people who have the mindset if u don’t have a sixpack and make under 100k a year i’m not even going to talk to you.”
See, A LOT of men bitch about this, when really, most of us just want a guy who’s not a dipshit, who treats us well, who actually has a job (and isn’t broke ass), and who isn’t WEIRD or CREEPY and someone we’re actually attracted to — someone we actually *want* to see naked. Sorry, but physical attraction is a necessity. I’m not saying every girl out there wants a male model (personally, I’m not into male models — they do nothing for me), but if you’re butt ugly in someone’s eyes, than you won’t be able to convince them otherwise. And that’s NOT superficial and if you are conventionally ugly, than good luck trying to find someone. And trust me — there are A LOT of ugly people in HRM. I’ve lived in other cities and I swear I’ve never seen so many ugly people as I have in Halifax. And ugliness isn’t just what’s on the outside, either.
And what’s funny is most of the ugly men I’ve conversed with are fucked. up. Or assholes. I might sound like a complete bitch here, but if you’re [f]ugly, do you really think you can afford to be an asshole? Really?
Why should we settle for people who creep us out or are broke ass or make us vomit a little in our mouths when we think about fucking them?
And why should we settle for people who give us the run around? There’s a lot of that shit around these parts too (though I file this under ‘asshole’).
And why SHOULDN’T we have some standards? I think a lot of men (mostly the ugly/broke ass/creepy/loser ones who have never even gotten a taste in their lives) are quick to blame women and claim their standards are ‘too high.’ “No, it’s not MY fault for not being attractive (physically, intellectually) to the opposite sex, it’s the opposite sex’s fault for being superficial and picky!” they claim. Well, when you’re a 40 year old virgin, and not by choice, you gotta wonder if it’s them or YOU.
Halifax is a wasteland filled with weirdos, creeps and broke ass motherfuckers — excuse me all to hell for not finding men who possess one, some or all of those qualities attractive and worth my time.
I’d rather be single than deal with that shit.
Oh you ladies, I think you’re doing it wrong. Don’t look for anyone, let them find and chase you.
Lolz I think you’re forgetting about machete man, Mel! Hahaha.
And not all of us are as cute as you. 😉
Ahahahahahahahaha “machete man” aaaaaaaaaaahhahahahaha.
Blah blah blah, get your ass back to Toronto
Clearly, this site is teeming with eligible bachelors—They were here all along!
Watch out single ladies, standards are a two way street…
Do what I did. Leave, snag a good one and drag him back east with you. Gotta keep the gene pool fresh some how…
Wellll I don’t really call what machete man did much of a ‘chase’. Anyone can send an e-mail and… pictures.
I’m pretty cool, have a creative job, live in my own place and have been told I’m good looking, you know…for a guy and I’ve been single for years now (3+), so this is not original to the ladies of this city.
At first it bothered me but I think I’m getting used to it now, everyone tries to say going down town more would help but I’m not big on night clubs, thugs or one night stands.
Hopefully T.O works out for you, but you might want to stop bad mouthing a whole city and every single guy in it because of your issues, chances are it’s that attitude that’s hurting you the most.
Maybe all the good single guys left because all that was left was a bunch of materialistic, shallow, controlling women who think they’re too good for any man.
I think there are lots of good looking, cool people of both sexes in Halifax. It lacks the diversity of places like Montreal, but over all I think we got it goin on. Also, everyone is a lot funnier here, which I think is attractive.
All the good guys are in Dartmouth! Duh!
Not from what I encountered this weekend during my trip into the darkside, Thomas.
Buncha unwashed weirdos. *shudder*
😉
I think some of these ladies are too impatient. Meeting the right person takes time, usually. All people are flawed in one way or another. It’s all a matter of perspective. One person’s weird is another’s quirky, one’s hillbilly could be another’s rugged. Attractive guys know their attractive and in demand which can breed arrogance. Six figure salaries often entail being married to the job moreso than the spouse.
I understand that it’s an intentional overstatement but to say there are no good men in Halifax is as silly as saying there are no good women in Halifax which we all know isn’t true. Just chill ladies, your time will come.
Toronto has more better looking folks anyway, OB. Best wishes!
Something in the water here in NS. A single bitch with 5 kids, no education and a retail job thinks she’s too good for a single, childless, educated professional of the same age.
Pfft, that’s juss cuz yo’ fat, biscuit!
So is mah wallet!
Well at least you don’t got a bitch to worry about.
Yo’ wallet’d be a lot less fat if you had one-a those.
Hoes can buy they own shit!
That’s why you don’t got one!
Doesn’t matter how fat your wallet is — if you ain’t openin’ it…
Hoes can smell that shit.
Even on POF.
So all chicks are just seedy hoes. That shit really entices a dude to want to chase the cat.
unwashed weirdos? Why, I take offense to that! I wash! 😛
As for being a weirdo… heh, ‘normalcy’ highly is overrated. Still gotta fake it when necessary. 😉
While celibacy can be lonesome on occasion, it’s still sometimes the better option when maintaining different priorities (and a whole lot easier on planning when you love to travel). Not that I’d turn down the right person if/when I meet her, mind you.
Biscuit, got some resentment issues? Buying shit for your partner is a two-way street now unless you’re stuck with someone shallow who’s only in it for your big, throbbing juicy wallet. It’s just expressed differently on either side. Overall, being a cheapskate never helps.
All of the good guys are in Dartmouth and all of the good ladies are in Halifax, better invest in a Macpass 😉
I lived in Dartmouth for a year and it made my white trash upbringing look sophisticated and rich with culture.
ask anyone o.p., the suckster is here to take care of you. give me a shout sometime, gary_more@ hotmail.com, you won’t be disappointed. ask anyone.
By anyone he means barely anybody
😛
Depends if the head-voices count on the census or not. 😛
Girls usually like me and I already can’t stand you.
the halifax hipsters in skinny jeans and justin beaver side swept hair are so sexy. -NOT!
Pretty sure that’s not just a Halifax thing, fool. 😉
As for hipsters and people sporting the Bieber style / haircut, maybe they should ask themselves some serious questions as to why their choices in appearance are modeled off something designed to appeal to the tween/early teen demographics.
yeah, if I was the kind of guy you were looking for I would run far away. Who wants to be with someone who *perceives* every single man she’s met as “either a weirdo, a loser, or an asshole”?
Hm.. i don’t have this problem op..
so i guess.. that means that either my standards are suitably set to the situation. Or THEIRS are.
